Sokikom - Sokikom

Sokikom (so-kee-com) motivates elementary students to learn math in an exciting, safe massively multiplayer online game. Sokikom currently features four games: Frachine, which focuses on fractions, decimals and percents; Opirate, which emphasizes mathematic operations and algebra; Treeching, which concentrates on measurement, algebra, patterns, time and money; and Shapescape, which helps students build their understanding of geometry. A free, unlimited-use, basic version of Sokikom is available for schools and homes.

Colorful, animated characters greet students when they log on to play a Sokikom game. Students create their own avatar, take a placement test, and quickly begin playing engaging games and solving real-life math problems. During individual game-play, kids go through a personalized math program that adapts to their abilities. If a student is stuck, a character, such as the friendly robot in Frachine, points them to a “help” button where the concept is reviewed. During team-based multiplayer games, students play together in real-time and help each other complete math tasks.

The company's research-tested approach uniquely connects massively multiplayer online game play with both the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Curriculum Focal Points for Grades PreK-8 and the new Common Core State Standards to provide intense engagement, which results in increased student achievement.
